El Cerdo means “the pig” in Spanish, and the restaurant specialises in porcine delights. As an appetiser, we had a goulash and a bread basket. The goulash was spicy without being too overpowering and there was loads of meat at the bottom of the cup. We ordered the Crispy Knuckle, which serves two but I reckon it could feed three easily. The superb wait staff recommended we sprinkle chilli flakes on the meat before eating, and the flakes heightened the taste of the knuckle by many notches! Trying it with the mustard too lent a different flavour to the pork.
The knuckle was served with the topping of chopped garlic, coriander and what I thought was parsley. It was very tasty and the meat texture was succulent and juicy while the skin was very crispy. We checked out the Red Wine Jelly for dessert. All items came separately; first the vanilla sauce was poured over the jelly followed by the vanilla ice-cream. We told the waiter to hold on the whipped cream. The jelly was tangy and light and was filled with loads of berries. The vanilla sauce which was thick and creamy, lent a perfect balance to the tartness of the jelly.
